https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22367/contact-through-points-in-pcb-layoutHello, I am designing a PCB layout using nRF52832, I want to make it as small as possible so I am considering to route all component tracks to another layer. I want to put only components on top layer and tracks on another layer, so i want to puten-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 30 May 2017 09:02:44 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/87922?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 30 May 2017 09:02:44 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b67ab821-68dc-48a7-ab13-bd950c60143bFormerMember<p>To make myself clear, in the RF part, I don&#39;t recommend to route components to another layer.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/87921?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 30 May 2017 07:57:50 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:15ea39f2-9a34-4a55-8592-887832e21dbeSwapnil<p>Okay thank you for your reply, I think my design will be mechanically stable. So I will consider doing it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/87920?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 26 May 2017 11:40:31 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5d8f22ef-3737-4168-a121-0ca4c55cc315FormerMember<p>If you are able to make the design mechanically stable, I can&#39;t see any reason why it shouldn&#39;t work.</p> <p>Just note that for the RF part for the layout, I strongly recommend you to strictly copy the reference layout. For a layout design with the nRF52832, I recommend you to read and follow the tutorial <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/35/">&quot;General PCB design guidelines for nRF52 series</a>&quot;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
